If there was one great way to kick off the spring season, it was with this engagement shoot featuring Kayla & Shaun! The Bettendorf Fire House set the scene for this unique engagement session.

Kayla and I have been speaking via e-mail since the QC Bridal Fair and had been talking about ideas and outfits for this shoot for awhile. Needless to say, these two nailed this session! Kayla totally rocked her cute navy blue dress, even though it was just a little bit cold!! Shaun also looked awesome of course, I mean seriously, who can beat a dude in uniform?

The couple also made sure their furry friend came along, which as you all know, I’m a total sucker for dogs! Much thanks goes out to Kayla’s sister who helped “dog sit” during our shoot!

June 3rd, 2016 – Quad Cities Wedding – Cadenza Photo Imaging – Quad Cities Wedding Photographer

Lori and David had such an amazing wedding day!

Their ceremony was held at St. Mark’s and their reception was held at the Freight House, both in Davenport, IA.

Other vendors were:

Wedding dress – A Story Book Ending, DeWitt, IA 

Men’s Suits – Men’s Wearhouse, Davenport, IA

Flowers – SAMs Club

Cake & Cupcakes – Banana’s Bakeshop, East Moline, IL

 

The day began at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, where the wedding party dressed for the big day. It was beautiful and sunny, and thankfully, not too hot! 😉

St. Mark’s is such a beautiful church, and you know me, you know that I’m a sucker for amazing churches.

Every detail was perfect and Lori’s dress was stunning! I have heard so much amazing feedback about “A Storybook Ending” in DeWitt, IA. It truly sounds like the place to go if you want awesome service and a beautiful selection of dresses!

As always, I’m a sucker for moody black & white images. Quad_Cities_Wedding_Photographer-4 Quad_Cities_Wedding_Photographer-5

The wedding colors were especially beautiful and were captured perfectly in the bouquet! And isn’t Lori’s ring beautiful?

Lori and David’s “first look” was nothing short of magical! Such a special moment in such a gorgeous church!

With David being a pastor, I really wanted to capture their love and the church in a unique way. I sure do love how these turned out! Of course, it helps when you have two super photogenic people!Quad_Cities_Wedding_Photographer-13 Quad_Cities_Wedding_Photographer-14Quad_Cities_Wedding_Photographer-15

Flats for the bride seem to be the way to go this season! Quad_Cities_Wedding_Photographer-16

I just loved all the stained glass in this church! 🙂Quad_Cities_Wedding_Photographer-17 Quad_Cities_Wedding_Photographer-18

Before the ceremony, Lori and David have a sweet moment at the bottom of the stairs. . .

Lori had her son walk her down the aisle, which totally almost made me bawl! Such a great moment!

The ceremony was perfect and the church was filled with all of Lori and David’s family and friends!

Now, on to the reception at the top of the Freight House!

Have you decided on your Quad Cities Wedding Photographer for your big day?

Are you looking to “break the mold” for your engagement session?

How about doing an engagement session at night?

Say what!?

A little extra lighting & we can totally rock some awesome shots!

Last year at Shutterfest, (the most awesome photog conference around), I photographed this lovely couple! This is in St. Louis outside of Union Station, and I’m totally hoping someone wants to give this a go here in the QC!

Night Engagement sessions can be added on as a “mini session” for those that still want traditional day-time sessions too 😉
